Eighth Grade Community Service

Each year, DTS PiE is proud to honor one graduating 8th grade student with a Community Service Award. We believe in the importance of community support of education. Similarly, we want to encourage reciprocal involvement of our students in local programs or projects that assist a group different or broader than themselves. DTS PiE recognizes a graduating student who puts genuine personal effort into an area that underscores our organizational mission of community involvement.
 
Each Spring, we seek nominations from those who know their students best – their parents – to honor a graduate who is active in the wider community. In addition to their applicable activities within school, we want to honor an individual who has shown a commitment, consistency, and initiative in community service either on his/her own and/or as an active participant in service groups. These may include youth organizations like the Girl Scouts/Boy Scouts, civic organizations, or religious organizations.
 
Eighth grade parents will receive an email in the Springtime with an invitation to nominate a student. Nominations are typically due around the last Friday in May, so the award can be presented at graduation. Winners receive a $100 check from PiE as well as the option to select an organization that PiE will make the same donation to on their behalf.
